NFC Frontend supporting challenging RF environment for payment, physical access control

PN5190

Please check the new online NFC Antenna Tool for tag and reader devices.

As a full NFC frontend with High RF output (2W) and High receiver sensitivity, the NXP PN5190 is a robust solution for payment terminals and all readers that need to generate a strong RF field in a difficult environment. Offering full compliance with EMVCo 3.1 and NFC Forum certifications, the PN5190 simplifies design while ensuring interoperability with a broad range of smartcards and mobile phones.

The High output power and receiver sensitivity allow the design of small antennas maintaining the communication range of a larger antenna. This is especially interesting for designs with limited space for a large antenna. Efficient power-saving modes allow long battery lifetime for battery-powered systems, including residential access locks.
